Amazon's most affordable Kindle e-reader has been refreshed for 2016 is now 11 percent thinner and 16 percent lighter it also has more rounded edges and comes in white as well as black the design changes may not see major but anytime you can shave some weight off an e-reader and makes a difference and the latest entry-level Kindle is actually the second lightest Kindle at five point seven ounces or 161 grams okay so it's missing the integrated light found in the step-up paperwhite voyage in Oasis and its resolution isn't as crisp 167 pixels per inch compared to 300 pixels per inch but it does have a touchscreen and as if equipped with 4 gigabytes of memory which enables you to store thousands of e-books new on the features front is Bluetooth audio for accessibility so visually impaired readers can hear voice view audio that's automated reading of what's on the page as well as navigation prompts and you can listen to that on wireless headphones or speakers sorry but you can't listen to audible audiobooks or music for that matter but I don't think necessarily want to use your Kindle to do that this is a Wi-Fi only reader by that I mean there's no version that bundles 3G cellular data service and this baseball has ads on it or special offers as Amazon calls them to get rid of them you'll have to spend an extra twenty dollars because of the integrated light we generally steer readers toward the paperwhite aside from the missing light this is a perfectly good reader for the money particularly if you can pick it up during an Amazon flash sale it gets discounted to $60 I'm David karna and that's the thinner lighter entry-level Kindle thanks for watching
